CNH Industrial Reman Adds Robotic Laser Cladding System

Jun 23, 2022

CNH Industrial Reman recently added a robotic laser cladding system to its remanufacturing facility. The technology adds cutting-edge capabilities to the remanufacturing process, drastically increasing core recovery and utilization. In addition, this technology helps lengthen the life cycle, increase availability and lower the cost of ownership for critical remanufactured components within the CNH Reman portfolio.

"Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, so we can apply different, or better, materials to the surface of parts without damaging the base material," said Josh Allen, salvage department supervisor at CNH Industrial Reman. "Not only does the laser cladding system help us fix things that once would have been scrap, but it also provides the capability to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the component parts by impregnating the surface with different material options."

While laser cladding technology has been around since the 1980s, the metallurgical and laser technology has improved significantly over the past 10 years. The modern technology is so efficient that it can apply a weld to a component without damaging the base material and make it as hard, or in some cases, even harder than it was previously, often resulting in improved performance and life.

Video: Case CE’s Big Motor Grader Bet: Meet the 325-HP GR935

Case Construction Equipment has joined forces with South African heavy equipment manufacturer Bell Equipment to bring its largest motor grader ever to market, the 325-horsepower, 51,209-pound GR935.

The three-model GR Series lineup will be rounded out by the GR925 and GR930. While full specifications have not been released, Case indicated that the models would range from 240 to 325 horsepower. Deliveries of the new graders are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

To get a closer look at the GR935 motor grader and a complete overview of the GR Series lineup, check out Equipment World’s video above with Case CE Product Manager George MacIntyre from ConExpo earlier this year.

Case CE GR935 Motor Grader Overview

The GR935 is powered by a 325-horsepower Cummins engine paired with a continuous variable transmission (CVT) enabling consistent power delivery and smooth operation for heavy road construction, snow removal, maintenance, site preparation and government applications, Case says.

Electro-hydraulic controls or traditional mechanical control are available. The 6X6 all-wheel-drive GR935 features a hydrostatic system with a dedicated pump and motor on each front wheel, allowing the machine to more easily maintain a constant rate of speed. The top forward travel speed is 28 mph.

An optional blade impact system prevents damage to the moldboard if it hits an obstacle, such as a curb or manhole.

Case CE will have the exclusive distribution across the United States and Canada for the GR925, GR930 and GR935 models manufactured at Bell Equipment facilities. The GR Series graders join Case’s existing D Series lineup, which includes the 137-horsepower 836D and 173-horsepower 856D launched in 2025.
